Monolith shared loads more previews over the last few days for Batman: Gotham City Chronicles, which will be hitting Kickstarter on the 27th February. We start with an armoured version of Batman.

Sometimes the enemies Batman must face call for heavier armour and a more brutal approach. When he faces foes beyond the capabilities of a mere human (as strong as he is) he needs a bit of extra support.

You will find that it hasn't just been Bruce Wayne who has donned this armour either. Azrael wore it for a time and even Jim Gordon has put it on!

Faithful Friend

Fighting alongside Batman we also have this preview for Batgirl, also known as Barbara Gordon.

Batgirl was an important member of the family, lending her crime-fighting support to both Batman and Robin on more than one occasion.

This is of course before the unfortunate events that led to her being wheelchair bound and taking up the role of Oracle.

A Deadly Killer

Lastly, as part of the previews, we also got a look at Monolith's model for Deathstroke.

Deathstroke, also known as Slade Wilson, is a deadly assassin who has clashed with Batman numerous times during his career.

He has fought alongside the Suicide Squad before but spends most of his time trying to bring down Batman thanks to the whims of some villainous plot.

As I understand it, this shares some mechanics with the Conan game, can anyone confirm this? Also anyone’s views on that as I’ve not had the pleasure. Seen a couple of small vids but not enough to get a feel for the game.

These are restoring my faith in the sculptors. Some have been good some ok and more than a few have been rather meh. These look great and with so many options from the history of Bat man they can really pick some awesome variations. I think the minis game having the animated versions look the best but I am partial to that particular look and feel.

@jackdanielsimow Conan is an excellent game. Players have to manage their reserves of energy from round to round, giving the gameplay a really dynamic feel. Players can be truly heroic, slaying enemies left and right, but they’ll be left panting and potentially vulnerable the round after. Added to that, the models and boards are lovely. One of my favourite boardgames.

@carlosfandango Super, cheers for that. Hopefully the KS will be well run, with rules posted. Can’t back a game without rules posted, Just a draft is fine!
I think as long as this is relatively quick play, the mechanics are as good as you say, the minis aren’t terrible, and the KS is relatively well run then I’m in.

Its the face grill I think. It was pretty much meant to be a prototype suit for all out war, so big chunky and brutal. The Talons (Court of Owls assassins) he was fighting in it are reanimated killers with extreme regenerative abilities so he gets to ‘stop holding back’ and lay into them, hence the unsubtle tool of destruction.
